These enemies are rare, and are only encountered around the woodpiles or rock clusters of the Silent Forest or Old Woods. They take a moment to awaken and do not chase you far from their wood pile. However, if you do attempt to fight one, they will either strike at you and inflict weak poison or coil up and strangle you to drain your health. To break out of their grip you can fire a gun, throw a flare at them, or pull out a torch. Basically, anything fiery or loud scares them off. If you kill them you can get the item snake fang, which you can sell at a value of 40 or use to upgrade melee weapons with weak poison. You can also craft them into antidotes.
